I hate people that are always late (like when coming to pick me up, or saying they will be somewhere at a certain time and not being there) Nothing makes me more angry ā“‚ But on the internet itā€™s a different story. There is no way to keep up with EVERYTHING šŸ™‚ besides, you know what they say ā€œbetter late than never!ā€ ---

> \*Originally posted by SureShot \* > **I hate people that are always late (like when coming to pick me up, or saying they will be somewhere at a certain time and not being there) Nothing makes me more angry ā“‚** You have NO idea how much I hate that! People say to meet somewhere at a certain time, they should be there at that time. I will never forget what my high school algebra teacher told us, ā€œTo be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, and to be late is unacceptable.ā€ But yeah, thanks for the link anyway. Iā€™m interested to see how itā€™s going to look and feel. I dunno if Iā€™ll like it yet - things seem to keep getting more and more automated. But, like most everything, itā€™s worth a shot at least. ---

I like that quote - in fact itā€™s kind of the way I live my life really. I am never (or very rarley anyway) ON TIME for anything, I am usually there 10 to 15 min early, depending on the situation. I just canā€™t stand being late because of how much I hate it when others are late. ---

I had an email from Macromedia about this last Friday. šŸ™‚ Thereā€™s seminars and stuff going on all over England where they showcase the new products. Wish Iā€™d been able to get time off to go to oneā€¦ ā˜¹ But it looks like theyā€™ve listened to programmers complaints - text in Flash! Theyā€™ve taken our advice! šŸ˜› ---

Itā€™s niiiice ā€¦but still hasnā€™t shipped yet ā€¦ saw it last night at the UsersGroup breeze webCast event from what I gathered, itā€™s very backwards compatable (you can use AS 1.0 or 2.0) 2.0 just has a bunch more OOp features added to it and several quick nā€™ easy behaviours and timeline events ++++ oh, not 1,000ā€¦same price as the current studioMX -($ 899. )- all the improvements are sweeeet ---

> \*Originally posted by SureShot \* > \*\*I am never (or very rarley anyway) ON TIME for anything, I am usually there 10 to 15 min early, depending on the situation. \*\* Iā€™m the same way ā€¦ I like to give myself at least 5 minutes ā€œbufferā€ time, and most of the time give around 10 minutes time. Especially doctors appointments and all - cause sometimes they take you early, and you donā€™t have to wait in that room for hours ---

pro is more but you donā€™t have to have it ā€¦proā€™s features are nice but unless you plan on using video alot, you could live without it ---

Reland, thatā€™s where I run into problems. You see - I dont program, almost at all - but I do use Video a WHOLE lot in flash. I dont know what one to get. I mean, if I get the pro version, will I be able to even use it if itā€™s laid out like VB? I doubt it. Do you know if you can switch back to timelines with Proā€¦? ---

(yeah the pro vers. _is_ the $1k price) I think well worth the added $100 but I was just saying for those that donā€™t nec. need it, the standard MX is quite improved and completely adequate The added VB style view is a sidebar tree structure thingy that gives an added ā€˜birds-eye viewā€™ of all the elements in the project (read: a better movie inspector ?) but the timeline is allways available the video features seem really nice - drag nā€™ drop interface componants, streaming and load on demand, (ie:no need to embed the video right in the file) all in all from what I could gleen from the demo (not a ā€˜hands-on-test-driveā€™)ā€¦ the new MX is not different so much as enhanced / improved / ++flexible Also ā€¦a lot of the scripting of basic actions has been (optionaly) automated so it is actually easier for non-codersā€™ thereā€™s a fairly indepth presentation (tour) somewhere on their site ---
